ARTISTRY

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For the PB & J French Toast

A classic American take on a beloved European favourite. Without a doubt, Artistry makes one of the best French Toasts in Singapore. The moist and grilled brioche was lightly drizzled with maple syrup and the tart berry compote. It's available on weekdays too so visit then to avoid the weekend crowds.

BRIDGE RESTAURANT & BAR

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For the Truffle Honey French Toast

Eggy, buttery, toast to a crisp on the outside but mighty moist on the inside, Bridge's French toast alone is a force to be reckoned with. What most would fall head over heels in love with however, is the decadent truffle honey generously drizzled over. Subtle, yet unmistakably fragrant, it's a straight kick into truffle heaven.

For Berries and Flapjacks

HOUSE AT DEMPSEY

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For the 7-layer Pancake

It takes time - and a whole lot of tummy space - to work through this stack of seven thin and fluffy butter pancakes, layered with a mixture of Nutella, raisins, dried apricots, hazelnuts, pistachios, and maple syrup. It's mighty sinful and definitely not one for the light-hearted.

MIAM MIAM

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For their famous French Toast

Miam Miam's French toast is pillowy, super eggy and soft, much like the ones our parents love to make at home. It's perfect for soaking up all that sweet maple syrup. Just don't make the same mistake we did to think that the deceiving neat scoop atop the pile of cubed bread is ice cream - it isn't. Request to have the cream removed if you'd like.

PACAMARA BOUTIQUE COFFEE ROASTERS

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For the Sticky Date Pancake

This is the pancake reincarnation of the classic sticky date pudding. Boasting a strong spiced fragrance, these fluffy stacks are topped generously with a luscious toffee-like caramel sauce. Served with lots of sliced bananas, a scoop of highly addictive salted caramel ice cream, candied pecans, and cookie dough, it's more than worth the buck at a jawdropping S$17.90.

PADDY HILLS

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For the Berry Ricotta Hotcake

It may have been modeled after Top Paddock's popular hotcakes, but this is an entirely different ball game. It's very similar to a pound cake with a crisp exterior - or more accurately a buttery muffin top. Yes it's unconventional and yes we wouldn't even call it a pancake/hotcake, but it's absolutely delicious anyway.

For the Orange Ricotta Pillows

If you're a staunch traditionalist, then go for these pancakes instead. It's possibly one of the fluffiest around, and boast a strong tart and citrusy flavour. The creamy coconut gelato helps balancs all that acidity. Citrus lovers, this is a must-try.
